A wannabe sports agent with no connection to USC steered Reggie Bush AWAY from USC... 2 year bowl ban, 30 lost schollies.

God damn. gotfrickingdamn. frick the NCAA.

Truth sucks.

But the NCAA realized the public is fricking stupid...and all they cared and knew about was $$$$ amount - that was sensational - and would support anything...just like Penn State...all the public focused on was Sandusky and child molestation and would support any Spanish Inquisition ruling.

NCAA knows the public doesn't do it's homework - so they don't either. It's all surface crap and what looks bad to this Jerry Springer generation.

It's confusing what they care about.

Oregon financially induces a star player to go to their school - major recruiting violation to make the recruiting playing field un-level.

- Slap on the wrist

USC - player is already at school and playing for school and gets benefits two years later from a wannabe agent inducing him to go Pro. But Bush got a lot of cash/house - so, it appears it's all about the $ sum to the NCAA - regardless of who does it.

I'm going to go with money. It may be a little "tinfoil hatt-ish." But with Nike being so involved with Oregon and also the entire NCAA for the most part, I would think this had something to do with it.
